Brown Tree Frog Litoria ewingii

Frogs of Victoria series

Identification

The Brown Tree Frog, Litoria ewingii, is a pale fawn or brown frog with a dark stripe from the snout through the eye to the front limb and an undivided dark patch between the eyes. The thighs are yellowish. The fingers are free of webbing, the toes are webbed to approximately half way along the toes and finger and toe pads are present. Total length to around 45 mm.

Distribution and habitat

The Brown Tree Frog is a common from in suburban gardens and is distributed over much of southern Victoria. It can be found in a variety of habitats, including away from water. It is normally located under logs and other such materials.

Biology

The diet of Brown Tree Frogs consists of small invertebrates. The females lay up to 700 eggs in still water, usually attached to submerged grasses. Tadpoles grow to around 50 mm.

Hey I caught a brown tree frog by my pool under a branch and i am wanting to keep it alive as a pet and wondering how to keep it alive. what does it eat? does it need a heat lamp? how big does its tank need to be etc.

According to the Department of Sustainability and Environment, it is not permissible to keep wild-caught specimens. However, you can create a frog-friendly garden and attract more of them to your yard, using the tips given on this website.

I am having a major issue with brown tree frogs whilsting during the evening and late night. Can you please provide some insight in how to deter these frogs away from my pool and backyard. My neighbours & myself have had to many sleepless nights. Recently I have been cutting tree branches down in my backyard & have been leaving them to dry out before removing. I think this might create a habitat for the frogs.

Keeping frogs away from a habitat they enjoy is challenging, especially when the frogs are as adaptable as these ones. As noted in the above article, it's not only watery environments that attract these frogs - a range of features of your yard may be "frog-friendly" ones. For further information about garden features that attract frogs, see the link provided in response to Mitchell's comment; might reversing some of these suggestions help?

Hi Brandon and thanks for your query. Brown Tree Frogs are predators and will begin feeding several days after metamorphosing and leaving the water. They will eat small insects (small enough for them to get in their mouths whole). Small crickets and cockroaches (commercially available) are ideal, but they can be fed wild caught insect such as flies and moths. Avoid feeding them stinging or biting species such as wasps or ants. Please note: Although Brown Tree Frogs are a common local species, they are protected by law. Any frog kept in Victoria must be obtained from a legal source (breeder, pet shop, etc) and cannot be taken from the wild.

Hi Brandon. Thanks for the further questions about your frogs. We have again asked our Live Exhibits team for information for you. Your frogs do also require ‘land’ are within the tank. A substrate of moist coco-peat, available from a hardware store, is suitable. The substrate will need to be changed periodically to prevent the build up of wastes. And you can expect your Brown Tree Frogs will grow to between 25 – 40mm.

i had no idea that brown tree frogs were in victria as i thought it was only the tropics. i had one in my shower recess it jumped onto the back of the bathroom door with its little suction caps then jumped onto my arm. i put it into my fernery where there is shelter and is moist. it didnt look like the striped one illustrated in the picture it was just a plain brown colour.

Hi,
I think there is a/some Litoria ewingii in my yard after the hail storm yesterday (my backyard is flooded out) but its night and I cant see. I listened to the call and it was the same as the Litoria ewingii. Could these frogs pose a threat to my pets? I have two dogs.
Also how can I move them safely? Is there a service to remove them?

Jo, these frogs pose no threat to dogs whatsoever, and will probably disappear along with the floods. Please do not attempt to remove them in the meantime, as this is highly disruptive to the frog population.

We have caught a southern brown tree frog that our dog was trying to get. We can't let it go in our yard as the dog will just try to attack it again but we are very attached to him and are afraid to let him go in any of the places we know of as there are ferral cats that might eat him. We live in Tasmania and I am wondering if there is anywhere we could contact to help us with information on the safest place to let him go.

Just caught what I think is a Tyler's tree frog in my shower recess. We have no pond, a dog in the backyard and both neighbours have dogs, so we have no idea where to let it go. Would appreciate some advice. Meanwhile, we've put it in an old fish tank with some water in it to moisten its skin. Thank you.

Hi Ping, we have contacted the Live Exhibits team for some advice for you. As the frog has made its way into your house, there must be a suitable frog habitat somewhere nearby, perhaps a parkland or wetlands. Our Live Exhibits staff have suggested that such a habitat must be somewhere close to where you live.

Hi, we are getting what I think are brown tree frogs in our bathroom. We've had about 10 in the last few weeks. I don't mind them getting in there but the problem is they collect up all the fluff and hair off the floor onto their bodies, and if I don't see them in time to free them, they die. Do you have any ideas how they might be getting in and what to do to discourage them from coming in the house? One side of our garden is very nice and damp and we do have frogs living in there as I hear them at night, so I'm not sure why they'd be wanting to come inside!
Thanks. :)

Hi, a friend of mine who lives in Torquay Victoria gave me two cuttings of Staghorn or Elkhorn Ferns. When I opened the green synthetic bag in Dandenong Victoria to take them out a Brown Tree Frog jumped out at me and landed on my chair and then jumped away but because I know there are no frogs in my area I caught him and put him in my carnivorious plant terrarium. Even though he can jump onto plants he just stays in the water. I need to know what I should do with him as my flat mate wants to flush him and I fear for his safety if I don't do something soon.

Hi Ruben, we have contacted the Live Exhibits Team and they have suggested you consider one of two things. You could either return the frog to Torquay or alternatively contact the Lost Frogs Home, you can find details here: http://frogs.org.au/vfg/features/lostfrogs.html

i have 10 brown tree frogs all bought from the pet shop my tank is totally set up for breeding and i think one of my frogs has eggs in her belly she has got really fat all of a sudden and belly has gotten very dark but she wont lay! there is plenty of water and reeds and rocks and plants and water temp is perfect. just wondering what else i can do to encourage her to lay as i dont want her getting sick or her babies not surviving.... chloe

Hi Chloe - Your frog requires a mature male to grip her in amplexus before she will release the eggs, this usually occurs after the male has been calling. Hopefully you have a mature male or two in your enclosure. Increase the amount of mist spraying (rain) the frogs are getting, this may stimulate males to call and things to happen.

thanks for that info, i think i have at least 2 calling males in the tank so ill start sraying tonight! they always call around midnight for some reason too, is this the time that it should "rain"??
chloe

hi again! i think my female has laid her egg mass but it looks like there is nothing in there or do they start off so tiny you cant see them? it just looks like a jelly clump stuck to some submerged wood....
chloe

Hello Chloe, We suggest you contact the Amphibian Research Centre regarding your frog eggs. This centre has a useful email contact address and website with an information page ‘A guide to Keeping Tadpoles’. Good luck. We hope the eggs are fertile.

hi my cat was caught terrorising a southern brown tree frog in my back yard and im just wondering what i should feed it as id really like to keep it alive, its currently in a fish tankwith a bowl of water n a plastic log. What can i do to keep it happy n safe. Thanks

Hi Taz, it's great that you are concerned for the frog but our Live Exhibits staff have said that the best thing you can do for the frog is release it. Keeping it in captivity increases the disease risks.

Hi two days ago i was working in my carport/shed when i seen a brown tree frog i think,on the carport wall about half a meter up from the ground,So i scoped him up in a container,Then released him in our pond,How ever 20mins later..He`s back again and on the shed wall again,So i took him back too the pond.My question is..It was night time,And i had the shed light on,Was the frog attracted too my shed light?,and dose it mean that i might have more frogs in my back yard? Thanks Dion.

If you find 1 Brown frog around you`r property after it`s been raining,Do that mean there`s more frogs not just one?,Like what i mean is...Do they live with heaps of other ones too,Or i`m just lucky too see one and that`s it?,Cos i like too attract em too my pond.Thanks Dave from S.A

Usually one frog would mean that there are probably more in the area. Brown Tree Frogs (Litoria ewingii) breed in the winter months (June-Sept), so that is the best time to see and hear them, as they will come to small water bodies to breed.

Hi, Yesterday I found a 2.5 inch brown (striped) frog in a disused icecream container full of water. The container is sitting on concrete under a potted fiscus tree in the backyard. Should I leave the frog there or should I try and relocate it to the Editvale/Chelsea Wet lands where it may have come from? If relocation is the answer then should I put it in the water or just the grasslands?

I found a brown tree frog hoppin infront of my garage about a week ago. i tried to keep him (he was very very very tiny) so i went to the pet store and got some coco nut dirt stuff and some flightless fruit flies i had him in a container overnight and someone must have closed it overnight cause he died. anyways the same exact thing happened today. my question is is that do i feed him the flightless flies in his habitat or take him out into a container and feed him there? mind u his container is only about 3.5-4 in. wide and about 7 inches tall and i put a divider in there so all the coco nut stuff didnt get nasty. so do i take him out or just put the flies in that little container?

Unfortunately you should not keep your visitor as a pet. The Department of Sustainability and the Environment (DSE) states that it is not permissible to take frogs from the wild, or to keep native animals as pets without the correct licence. Some native animals can be kept as pets provided they are sourced from licenced breder. A list of the native species that may be kept by private collectors can be found at on DSE Private Wildlife Licences website.

Hi,
I believe I have a bunch of these guys in tadpole form in my rain barrel, I live in a share house that is planned to be demolished in two months time and was wondering, how long it would take for them to grow into a form that will allow them to survive?
If they wont grow in time I do have another option, there is a park nearby with a massive pond, If they wont be able to grow in time here I could possibly pour out my rain barrel into the pond. I know many will not survive because of fish and other predators, but I think it is better than just killing them outright.
It's a minor annoyance as I use this water for gardening, but I'm not about to kill a bunch of baby frogs & I have other water sources anyway.
Any help you could give in this situation would be grand.
Thanks,
Roben

We forwarded your question to Museum Victoria's animal keepers, who responded with the following:

Brown Tree Frogs (Litoria ewingi) have one of the shortest periods as tadpoles of all Australian frog species – coincidentally, about two months. This will vary on the ambient temperature and water temperature, as well as the availability of food, but means that they should have metamorphosed by the time the house is demolished. If they are still tadpoles at that time, they will at least have grown and become more robust in the intervening period, so if you need to transfer them they will have a better chance of surviving in a new habitat.

Hi
We have some Tasmanian Brown Tree froglets at the Kindy where i work, some of them have only become frogs a few weeks ago and some only a few days ago. My question is should we be keeping them in separate environments? Also once the tadpoles are sitting on the 'land' in their enclosure, can we move them directly into the frog enclosure? Thanx

Hi Claire, the species you have is most likely the Southern Brown Tree Frog (Litoria ewingi). They can be kept together as a group when adults, so there is no need to separate them. Once the tadpoles have left the water they have less need to return to it, but water should be provided at all times for the adults as well. The adults have little need for water compared to other frog species, but should always be given access to some, even if it is a small water dish. In your situation you might as well keep the metamorphs in an area with water, just in case they feel the need for it.

i have two Southern Brown Tree Frogs and three tadpoles, my frogs don't want to eat... I'm scared if they don't eat soon they might die.... :( I feed them crickets that are the right size for them but they just don't eat them!

Good morning, I live in SA where we are allowed to keep this sp. but Im moving to victoria, they have almost completely morphed :) exciting times :D will I still need a permit for them when I get there? or is there some sort of exemption for that given circumstance? Im doubting that there is but no harm in asking :) Thankyou for this wealth of knowledge on this site, has been quite helpful. Cheers Corey

I had a Brown Tree Frog come from the water reserve near my house into my backyard! I have a pool that isnt clean it is all green and slimy and the frog bred lots of tadpoles in there. Now all of those tadpoles have turned into frogs and they are so cute but i am not going to touch them because i do not want to disturb them. But now those frogs have laid tadpoles of their own and there is atleast 11 frogs in there that are still babies and im wondering how many frogs i will end up with ?

Hi Alicia, You’ve obviously provided a suitable habitat for them in which to live and breed, particularly regarding plant material to feed the tadpoles. They will continue to breed until they feel the need to disperse, either because the food runs short or the water levels drop or adults disperse to find mates or colonise new areas. Therefore the number of frogs you end up with will depend on the number your habitat can sustain.

Just wondering if you know if the brown tree frog has the ability to change colours. Have a look at a photo I took at my father's house on Kangaroo Island. This is his marron tanks which has hundreds of tadpoles in it. He observed that on the light sides of his tanks, the frogs are white and those on black bird netting and black pipes are dark. Can you explain this? I've never seen it before and am thinking of doing an article in our newspaper (The Islander) about it if it's unusual. Thanks!

Hi Simone, Brown Tree Frogs come in a range of colours, from pale cream through brown to dark emerald green, with or without stripes and spots. Their colours do change over time, and we have had a bright green specimen that slowly changed to dark brown over a week or so. However, they are apparently unable to change their colours in response to background colours, at least not as quickly as some other animals can. It’s possible however that those frogs that regularly sit in certain positions on your father’s tanks will slowly adapt to the background or to different light levels.

Hi Blue, your frog is probably too young to sex. When it fully matures, you can sex it using the following features: 1) as a very general rule, females tend to be bigger than males; 2) during the breeding season males may have a distinctly green throat, and outside the breeding season the throat of males is creamy coloured in contrast to the white of females; 3) during the breeding season, males have very distinctive nuptial pads on the undersides of the front fingers, which look like small black lines (best seen with the frog in a jar held up to the light); 4) if you play a recorded call – available on the internet – to the frog, it is a male if it answers back.

We have found in a carpark a little brown striped frog,brought it home as there was nowhere to release it in the area,have it now in an aquarium.where can I email someone to tell me the better places to release it please?

Hi John! Our Live Exibits staff say it could be a Brown Tree Frog (Litoria ewingi) or a Common Froglet (Crinia signifera). In either case, these frogs are widespread and relatively well-adapted to living in suburban environments. The best thing you can do for the frog is to return it to the general area of the carpark and release it in what looks to be the most suitable habitat – amongst trees or gardens or patches of shrubbery.

Hey, i am looking to get two southern brown tree frogs and i am wondering what size tank is needed and what is needed in it.I was looking at a 12''x12''x12'' setup but im not sure if they will breed in it. And every tank is so expensive. please help

Hi Heath! Our Live Exhibits staff say that the tank you described is an adequate size for two frogs of that species, and you’ll need to include substrate such as coco-peat or gravel (gravel is easier to clean). The tank will need to include a bowl of water that is changed every couple of days, and plants or a log can be included for aesthetic reasons but are not essential. Plastic plants may do the job and can be removed and cleaned whenever dirty. The frogs will tend to sit on the walls of the tank rather than a log or plants.

The should be fed crickets or flies twice a week. Crickets are easier and each frog should be fed 8-12 small to medium crickets each feed – don’t overfeed or the crickets will foul the water bowl.

The frogs won’t breed this time of year but if you would like to breed them you’ll need a separate tank of about the same dimensions, filled about one third with water and with a small log sitting above the water surface. A small pump that sprays water onto the back of the enclosure will encourage them to spawn.

We have 3 brown tree frogs in a large tank, with water and sand, branches and greenery. We feed them crickets. unfortunately one of the frogs had swelled up and was just lying in the water. When had a look and it was still alive but died the next day. What could cause this? Thanks for you help

I keep Southern Brown Tree frogs at home, (commercially brought) if they breed and i get to many can i release them into my backyard around my fish ponds or can i release them into the creek near my house?

Hi David - It's not a good idea to release them into the wild, even if they were originally collected locally. If they were bought from a pet shop and are of unknown origin, it may cause even more problems. One issue is the mixing of gene pools - frogs from distant locations may not be adapted to your local conditions and may dilute or pollute the local Brown Tree Frog gene pool. Additionally, they may carry diseases and pathogens that can cause havoc with wild populations. Even if they appear healthy, it's possible they may be carriers. Diseases such as chytrid can be particularly devastating. The 'wild' includes your own backyard - frogs in a backyard pond can spread out and mix with local frogs as readily as local frogs might colonies your pond. You can contact the Amphibian Research Centre for advice on surplus frogs.

I have two pet brown tree frogs (from a pet shop)and I ran out of crickets is there anything else I can feed them as I cant buy more until Friday!?

Elise
They will eat just about anything that moves so loang as its not to big. Flies, moths, crickets, woodies(cockroaches). What area are you in and i might be able to direct you somewhere to to get them.

Hey Guys
I am thinking of getting a southern brown tree frog but my parents arent too keen about the fact that they need a light. they do not want to pay alot for the electricity. Does the southern brown tree frog actually need a light?

Hi Kellie - we ran this past our staff from our Live Exhibits team, and they have responded as follows:

A light is not essential for the maintenance of brown tree frogs. However, because they still need to know when it’s day and night, it’s best to keep the enclosure in a well lit area outside of direct sunlight. This will allow the frog to undergo a proper daily cycle.

Do Southern Brown Tree Frogs need a heat lamp when you have them as a pet in a tank?
Also, I see that you have told many people that in Victoria you are not allowed to keep them as pets, is that the same for South Australia?

Brown Tree Frogs (Litoria ewingii) can be kept indoors without heating or a heat lamp, unless the temperature falls below 10 degrees Celsius, in which case some heating will be required. This species is common throughout much of southeastern Australia, including areas with cold climates.

For details about South Australian permits, you will need to contact the State Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources. DEWNR has a 'Basic Keep and Sell Permit' for common native animals, but they must be captive bred and need to be obtained from a private breeder or pet shop rather than collected from the wild. You will need to check with DEWNR whether Brown Tree Frogs fall within this category.

i have a brown tree frog (store bought) and i was planning to get a common green tree frog but i was wondering if these frogs will get along. but also the frog im planning on getting is much larger is this a problem?

Hi Elly, as a general rule, it’s not a good idea to mix frogs of different species. It is sometimes done successfully, but usually by frog keepers who have had enough experience to pick up signs of stress and illness in the frogs. There are many problems that can arise from mixing species, and it usually requires a thorough understanding of the frogs to detect these problems.

In particular, Green Tree Frogs (Litoria caerulea) will generally eat anything that fits into their mouths, including other frogs.

Do southern brown tree frogs eat other smaller southern brown tree frog? as we have 15 tadpoles that we are breeding and want to to put in our large pond, just want to check with you before i put them together. I have done some research but have not been able to find information indicating that they do like other species of frogs.

hey,
I have enjoyed reading this forum.
i just wanted to say, that i personally would recommend having UV light for these frogs. I had a very unfortunate experience with my brown tree frogs. I brought my frogs as tadpols and was told not to worry about a light and to just feed them small crickets. everything was going fine until the young frogs had some big growth spurts. their back legs grew a bit funny shaped. turned out they had rickets. i was heart broken because I'd done everything i'd thought they needed. another thing I'd recommend from personal experience is to vary there diet a bit (not just crickets). or use vitamin powders.
i hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Hi. I am near Ulverstone, NW Tasmania. I found a recently dead frog in my outside fish pond. I have gone through the different Tasmanian frog species, and it looks like the Brown Tree Frog. The only thing is the backs of the thighs are orange with black spots. Can the Brown Tree Frog have spots on it's thighs?

Hi Elizabeth, if you still have the specimen can you take a couple of images of the frog with a ruler in so we have an idea of scale. The email address is discoverycentre@museum.vic.gov.au

Hi Elizabeth, our frog expert said it is very hard to be sure without a photo, but that she has found some Litoria ewingii with some small black spots on the thighs. So she thinks it is most likely to be L. ewingii as you suggest even though the spots you describe sound much larger than what she has seen. She doesn’t think there are any other Tasmanian species that have orange thighs with spots.

Hi,
I'm getting conflicting advice about how often to feed my brown tree frog. At the moment I feed it every second day, 2 crickets each time. Is this enough? Occasionally I might add a third feeding item. It is a near adult size frog
Thanks in advance!

Hi David, that seems to be the right amount of food for a Brown Tree Frog (Litoria ewingi). Individuals vary in how much they eat, how often, and whether they will continue eating when no longer hungry. The best option is to get a feel for when your particular individual has had enough, and keep an eye on its overall condition to make sure it's getting enough food. The amount of flesh over the pelvic bones is a good indication of health.

Hey,
I have 4 pet Brown Tree frogs, and I have had them for a year in October. Firstly, how can you tell if they are male or female? They do croak and i think my biggest one might be a male. Also, I am hoping to breed them, but they haven't croaked in a while, and the frogs outside croak heaps. Do you know why this is happening, and do you know how old they have to be to breed? Thanks!

To get them breeding you may need to spray them with heavy droplets of water regularly to simulate rainfall. Breeding generally occurs in autumn and early spring in the wild, and eggs are laid in several clusters of a few hundred eggs.

Hey,
I have 3 BTF (brown tree frogs) & I am not sure how to tell if they are male or female. One is tiny, another is small but very fat, though I don't over feed him/ her, & the last one is flat and long . I can describe in more detail if needed, but please help me as I really want to breed them. I have had them since tadpoles last year, so would they be ready to breed? Thanks heaps.
Chloe

Hi again!,
I found a small puddle and it was full of tadpoles!! I have recently being doing an experiment where I collect tadpoles from my dam/ pond, and I am trying to see how many species of frogs there are living in my area. Don't worry, I alway release the tadpoles when they morph, apart from my other frogs which I didn't think would survive in the wild as they were much smaller than the others and had deformed limbs. They are doing okay though. But I was wondering if this experiment is okay to do, legally. I don't harm the tadpoles and I have very few die. They all seem happy and healthy and are growing fast! As I said, I do not keep them, but I was just curious. And for my other frogs, will I be able to keep them? Do I need a license? They were also very small as tadpoles, and I had one that was swallowed by a marsh from during morphing, so I was worried. They are doing well, as I have provided them with a light, plants, rocks and a 64 Letre tank. I love them and they Are so cute!! Thanks heaps and I'm sorry for the long comment!
Chloe

Brown Tree Frogs (Litoria ewingi) are not very easy to sex but the following attributes might help: 1) females tend to be bigger than males; 2) during the breeding season males may have a distinctly green throat, and outside the breeding season the throat of males is creamy coloured in contrast to the white of females; 3) during the breeding season, males have very distinctive nuptial pads on the undersides of the front fingers, which look like small black lines (best seen with the frog in a jar held up to the light); 4) if you play a recorded call – available on the internet – to the frog, it is a male if it answers back.

The frogs are presumably purchsed from a licenced breeder. The Department of Sustainability and the Environment (DSE) states that it is not permissible to take frogs from the wild, or to keep native animals as pets without the correct licence.

Hello,
I have 3 brown tree frogs, but i am focussing one just 1 of them. I'm not sure if it is male or female, but I think it might be male because it is quite small, but fat, though I don't over feed them. How many 'thumbs' or toes are they ment to have? Because my frog tht I suspect is a male has 3 at the front and a shorter one at the back. Is this on all frogs? I'm not sure if I croaks but when I play a Brown tree gorg audio, it follows the sound, and dosent croak back. How old does he have to be to breed? I have had him for a year now. I would really appreciate it if you could help. Thanks heaps😋🐸

Hi Madyson - we asked our Live Exhibits team about this, and they've responded with this:

Frogs have four toes on the front feet (in the manner you described) and five toes on the back feet. It is the same for all frog species. Breeding for Brown Tree Frogs (Litoria ewingi) occurs in spring and autumn, and there are a number of ways to tell males from females - females are usually bigger; males have a distinctly green throat during the breeding season; and males have nuptial pads on the undersides of the toes on the front legs.

Hi, i have some BTF that hav recently lost their tails, can you tell me how fast they grow.
Thanks.

Hi Sharon, depending on the species and the environmental conditions, frogs take about 12 weeks to develop from egg to adulthood. Losing the tail generally takes 1-2 weeks.

Hi, I was just wondering if brown tree frogs can be green instead of brown. Because I keep finding little green frogs that look exactly the same as a brown tree frogs but are green. I live in ballarat Victoria.

The Brown Tree Frog (Litoria ewingi) sometimes has flecks of green, or green stripes, across its back but can also be entirely green. This seems to occur mostly with specimens from southern and western Victoria and as a general rule, their natural brown colour returns over time.

Hi again!
I have a problem with my froggies😢
When I opened the cage this morning, I found my smallest frog jammed in the door. I got him out and notices his legs had been crushed. He is struggling to jump move which is unusual since he was t most active frog. I don't think they're broken as he showed no signs of pain. Will he die? I have been hand feeding him and he is still trying to catch flies. Is there anything I can do to help him? Thanks
